That's the exact reason why I want it as well, as I want to be able to get the number as a text. Please keep me informed as to what happens! I recall, once they also told me that it will be set up in 72 hours, but I didn't get any result! thanks for posting this info. if your successful, i'll give it another shot! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke " <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Like you I was greeted with a message that it was not set-up and that I should phone Vodafone on 191 from the same handset. I did. Got through after making the necessary choices given. Then I was advised that my call would be at a flat rate of 25 pence and that I could disconnect at that point. I waited and when the person came on line explained that I wanted the 195 directory set up on that handset and that it was a free service for blind and partially sighted. He said he had never heard of it. I was then treated to the music while he looked it up. Sure enough he came back on the line and read out what he found. I then had to give him myPIN and name and address. He also took my number I was dialling from and said it would be set up within 48 - 72 hours but I should bear in mind that it was the bank holiday weekend and therefore may take a little longer. Will let you know when it is up and running. It is an excellent service as I know from my contract mobile because I am able to request the number I want in a text message.

Now I've just given up.----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Roberts" <p.roberts13@xxxxxxx>

Bilal I have not been able to use 195 on my 02 mobile for years. I did phone but they were adamant that the service was not available.

Sounds like an aweful lot of money to lose when changing accounts. I certainly would not suffer such a huge loss.----- Original Message ----- From: "Damon Rose" <damon.rose@xxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 4:59 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: BT 195 on my mobileNo but I mentioned on this list a little while ago that I can't access it on Orange. I still can't. Other Orange customers got back and said that they weren't having any trouble. Andy do you use an iPhone? I ask because I have an iPhone account with Orange and I lost 195 when I switched from my regular orange account to my new iPhone orange account. I get an unobtainable tone when I dial 195 on my mobile. I've attempted to call Orange customer services about this a couple of times now but I lose the will to live after hanging on for 15 minutes or more and haven't yet had an opportunity to talk to a human being about it. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Summers Sent: 27 August 2010 16:02 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] BT 195 on my mobile Hello All, I don't know if you can help, I have got a Virgin mobile with a Virgin sim in it and the problem is, I am not able to ring 195.
